How Do You Spell ART GLOOMY?

Pronunciation: [ˈɑːt ɡlˈuːmi] (IPA)

The spelling of the word "art gloomy" may seem quite unusual at first glance, but it can be explained using IPA phonetic transcription. The first sound, "ɑ", is the vowel sound found in words like "barn" and "car". The following "r" sound is pronounced as an alveolar approximant, like in "run" or "read". The "t" sound is pronounced as an unvoiced alveolar plosive, like in "top" or "tuna". Finally, the second syllable begins with a voiced velar fricative, "ɡ", which is similar to the sound made in "go" and "good". Together, these sounds create the unique spelling of "art gloomy".
